term exceeding five years, such person is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison not less than ten years.

2. If the subsequent offense is such that upon a first conviction, the offender would be punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for five years, or any less term, then the person convicted of such subsequent offense is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison not exceeding ten years.

3. If the subsequent conviction is for petit larceny, then the person convicted of such subsequent offense is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison not exceeding five years. En. February 14, 1872. Am'd. 1903, 107; 1905, 667.

The amendment consists in the substitution of the word "five" for "ten." At the last session of the legislature, sections 666 and 667 were changed, the former being amended, and the latter repealed. Through a mistake in copying the proposed amendment to section 666, the section, as it now stands, leaves a large class of cases unprovided for. The word "ten," on the fourth line of subdivision 1, has been changed to "five," so that where the punishment for a first conviction would be six, seven, eight, nine, or ten years, some penalty shall attach; for a second conviction for an offense punishable, say by seven, or even ten years, entails no penalty. Judge Carroll Cook called the attention of the Commissioner to the error, and requested the amendment.-Code Commissioner's Note.
